My dog faithfully waits near the kitchen whenever I’m in there. He’s patient, quiet, and respectful of the process. He doesn’t always get a doggie treat or a taste of whatever I’m cooking, but he is hopeful each time. And when he does get something, he is most grateful.

He also probably can’t see much or doesn’t understand what’s going on step-by-step when I’m making a snack or meal, but that doesn’t matter much, does it? 🙂

According to a news article, “Eight-year-old Max the springer spaniel had to stand down from active duty after he became crippled with hip, back and leg problems… He had to take early retirement from the drug enforcement team with Avon and Somerset Police after seven years of dedicated service. But his former colleagues were determined to look after him and paid for a special ‘chariot’ to help him fight his disabilities. The all-terrain device consists of two wheels attached to a frame strapped across his back to provide balance and support.”
